Harry Potter enthusiasts are thrilled by the discovery of an unseen prequel featuring Sirius Black and Harry’s father, James, who likely were unaware of its existence.

The last film in the franchise, “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – Part 2,” came out in 2011, highlighting the fans’ desire for new content. Excitingly, a live-action reboot of Harry Potter has been announced by HBO in 2023, bringing hope to eager fans.
Additionally, it appears that another Harry Potter narrative has been overlooked, involving Sirius and James. A Reddit user, Spiritual-Choice228, revealed that J.K. Rowling penned an 800-word short story in 2008 for charity auction, sharing the entire tale in a discussion thread.
This story, set in 1977, takes place three years before Harry’s birth, according to a bygone announcement from Rowling’s website. Many users expressed their enjoyment of the short story, with comments like “This was a very enjoyable read!” and “Amazing!”
While it seems unlikely that this short story will be adapted into a full novel, film, or stage production, fans can still appreciate this intriguing glimpse into the lives of two characters from the Harry Potter universe. As for HBO’s Harry Potter series, a release date has yet to be announced, but it’s reasonable to expect it could take another year or two.
